A couple weeks back, I tried Coca-Cola in the glass bottle for the first time, and I noticed it tasted completely different from the Coca-Cola in the cans and plastic bottles. I even tried Pepsi-Cola in the glass bottles and it tastes better than the Pepsi in the cans and plastic bottles. Then I was thinking, what is your favorite sodas/beverages?

We don't drink much regular soda anymore, trying to stay away from the corn syrup sweetner. We always have Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale on hand and we only drink it out of the can, pouring it over ice dilutes the flavor too much. And then we only drink 2 or 3 cans a week. But if I was going to drink a regular soda it would be something sweetened with sugar, like Mexican Coca Cola in the 12 oz. bottle. And I refuse to drink anything out of the new, horrible self service soda machines in most of the fast food restaurants now, you know the ones with a jillion choices that you make by touch screen, all of the choices bad. I don't know how you can screw up mixing soda flavoring syrups with carbonated water, but they have found a way. That stuff is vile.
Most of the time we just drink tap water filtered with a Brita Faucet Mount filter, no ice. And of course coffee, black for me, David puts 1/2 &1/2 in his. And on Sunday's with dinner we have either a bottle of Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice or a bottle of non alcoholic wine, since we don't drink alcohol. Eddie | ||

Top Five:
1) Dark French Roast fresh ground coffee 2) Glass bottled/Mexican Coca Cola 3) Canada Dry Ginger Ale (their cranberry variety is brilliant) 4) Fresca 5) If I knew where to get it, Delaware Punch was a fave of mine. Haven't seen it around in over 30 years, though... And a tie with #3: RC Cola | ||

I like a really good cup of coffee in the morning. HEB Breakfast Blend or Arabica House Blend. Have a soft spot for Dunkin Donuts coffee as well. Favorite soda beverage: Have a weakness for Frostie Root Beer in bottle. Also like regular Coca-Cola in a bottle or can.

Overall Winner: Iced tea (made with English breakfast tea), occasionally with a splash of sugar-free peach syrup.
Pop: Back in the day: Glass-bottled Coke (sugar; not HFCS) with a lemon wedge. Today: Coke Zero Sugar...with a lemon wedge. The Keurig has converted me to iced tea. A freshly-brewed glass every time. | ||

Town Club! RC whenever I can get it... There's Frosttop, also subject to availability... And that my nearby Ace Hardware happened to carry it when I was (& still am) at my most-hard up, buying at least one bottle of each, knowing they'd be off the shelf, so I dashed out to buy that morning I woke up craving the Sarsaparilla & Red Birch Beer (that I wish I made my "float" with--a glass or mug over vanilla ice cream) also buying the more common vanilla-caramel, reg./diet root beer and orange cream...
Give me anything that's the uncommon, or something like our Faygo, or having me decide between Barq's or Mugg (Bulldog) root beer--just to buy BOTH!--... Or try the Mt. Dew Pitch Black (YUK, I did! --WHY?!) although Mt. Dew should just be MT. DEW, (yes, the answer to Faygo's Moonshine, which it was an answer to) as in Green Lemon/Lime, that you order at Taco Bell, 'cause it goes with your tacos & burritos, and mixes well w/ tequila... As I'd missed out on Code Red, the Blue Stuff & even when it went White--just for the Red, White & Dew (Blue) to be mixed-up in the horrendous combination of all THREE, which I'd also avoided... And so far, never even tried it Orange--I loaded up on Sunkist & Crush, just to find all orange tastes the same! Ditto Mello Yellow & Squirt, and whatever competing brands there are of that ilk... Otherwise, I'm turning 7-Up--Oops, don't get me started on the Gold, Cherry or other novelties, that IT had turned into over time--The Original is BEST! -- Dave | ||

Ginger Ale: I had 'homemade' ginger ale at a restaurant in Minneapolis. Tasted so much better than the commercially bottled version. Began making it at home a few times a year. I'll post the recipe sometime. It's easy. Absolutely the best ginger ale. Had to stop making it when sugar became an issue for me a couple of years ago.

SunDrop is a citrus drink. For years it was only available down here in the South. In 2011 it became available nationwide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Drop... | ||

Sun Drop was bottled at Roth Bottling Company in Madison, MN, when I was a kid. My class toured the small plant/operation when I was in 3rd grade (1967). Never took a liking to the stuff, myself, but whenever someone went home during college, they'd bring back cases of the stuff for fans who had no other access to it.

Mine's a Gin and Tonic
Oh wait, we're talking about pop and that sort. Sorry, *LOL*
Not huge on pop or sweetened drinks. Mother kept her children on a very tight lead that way to the point our intake of soda, sweetened juices and so forth was carefully monitored. Of course by teenage and college years things were different, but even so really never went all in for the stuff. Much prefer water, real iced tea or perhaps various mixers without booze (seltzer water, ginger ale, club soda...). | ||

 Not much discerning on carbonated products. Fresca or ginger ale, diet root beer is nice, doesn't so much have the diet 'tang' to it. Mr. Pibb. Sprite. Sometimes Dr Pepper or Diet (but they seem to go flat quickly). HEB has seasonal flavor offerings (with sugar, not HFCS), Apple Crisp is a favorite. But have been avoiding carbonation for some months. Water with the flavoring liquids. Favorite iced tea is 2 family-size "regular" tea bags + 2 or 3 Earl Grey to make a gallon. | ||

reply to johnrk in #13
Delaware Punch
funktionalart - remember when you used to be able to get Delaware Punch in those little bottles of concentrate and mix your own? We kids used to use that to pour over homemade 'sno cones'. ******************** johnrk: YES! We did the same thing way back when. I also remember putting it on coconut cake or vanilla ice cream (in a big glass mug) with 7-up added to make a "float". I miss that flavour. The last Delaware Punch I bought was in Monterey, CA at a Lucky's supermarket. 6 packs of 12 oz glass bottles. Must have been around 1986 or 87. Have not seen it ANYWHERE since. I'm sure it could be had online (but if I find it, I'd go broke buying it). Would just be happy to find it in a supermarket again. May just be an east coast availability by now... | ||

I used to love Delaware Punch too. Until I was about 10 I hated any soft drink with carbonation. So Birelys Orange and Delaware Punch were my favorites. I would drink Root Beer, Squirt and Nehi too, even though they were carbonated, but no Coke or Pepsi. Then in the summer of 1961 our car broke down in Chico, Calif. on a really hot day and the only thing cold that my Dad could lay his hands on was Coca Cola out of the service station machine. So I learned to drink it and like it. But oh, how I loved Delaware Punch! Hawaiian Punch is a close second, and I used to pour Hawaiian Punch syrup on ice cream and cake too, just like Allen, it's delicious! I even made a birthday cake for my godson once with Hawaiian Punch in both the cake and the frosting.

Dislike of carbonation: I've been drinking Coke products since my sister used to pour some into my sippy cup, so I don't even notice it anymore, but super-chilled Coke really does produce a burning sensation in the throat.
If I'd never had it before and someone said, "Here; try this" I'd think they had given me poison to drink! | ||

There's nothing more "macho" than drinking a super cold coke and burping loud. Probably even Bree Van der Camp or Queen Betty likes to do that. (alone of course) | ||
